冬天的树

A Winter Tree

风雪之后的傍晚
又一棵枫树倒下来了
它伏在另一棵树上
仿佛进入了梦乡

天空，刹那间翻转了过来
它阴郁不语
仿佛被砸伤
却不想说出伤口的位置

雪的反光里
那些黑色的枫树向天空
举起千手
而这棵倒下的树
依然匍匐在更深的黑暗里

黑暗里有一千条河流
陪它返回故乡
			

After the snow storm
Another maple tree fell down
It leaned on another tree
as if it had fallen asleep

The sky, turned over in an instant
Overcast and silent
as if it were crushed by the tree
But not wanting to reveal its wound

In the reflection of the snow
those black maples raised
thousands of hands to the sky
The fallen tree
lay still in deeper darkness

There are a thousand rivers in the dark
to accompany it home
			

五月的风信子

The Grape Hyacinth of May

五月中旬，雨后的
葡萄风信子
仿佛要收起它的忧郁
忧郁的蓝，浅紫的蓝
有时似晨钟暮鼓
有时又如一阵青烟
忧郁可以这样明媚
像春光一泻千里
深沉也可以
摇曳有声
如少女的长裙

今天，它准备把
叮当作响的风铃
藏进它的衣袖
它清晰时
世界是模糊的
现在它开始模糊了
世界却清晰起来
那些枯叶、杂草、断枝
和土地的伤口
都清晰可辨

渐行渐远
这时间的森林里
灰蓝的呼吸
			

In mid-May, after the rain
the grape hyacinth seems to gather its melancholy
its brooding blue, light purple blue,
sometimes it is like the morning bell or evening drum,
and sometimes it is like a puff of smoke.
Melancholy can be so bright,
like spring, flowing down vigorously. 
Deepness can also flicker with sound,
like a girl's dress.

Today, it is ready to hide its 
jingling bells inside its sleeves.
When it is clear,
the world is blurry.
Now it starts to blur
and the world becomes clear.
The leaves, weeds, broken branches
and the wounds of the land,
are clear and distinct.

Receding into the forest of time—
the traces
of its blue breath.
